The Miracle of Mary Mack's Baby
4 women, 3 men
Wild Texas style comedy

The whole town is talking about Mary Mack. Something crash-landed in her front yard on Friday night, you see. And out of the wreckage she pulled a little green thing that she believes was sent to her by the Lord. She's installed the thing in her son's nursery and is singing prayers of the thank-you-kindly-Jesus variety, but the rest of the town is getting ready for an alien invasion Mary Mack's scheming husband is plotting to kill his wife, and a wild assortment of West Texas townsfolk are giving an out-of-towner tabloid news reporter enough footage to justify an alien take-over plot. It is up to her friend Gildy to come calling and set the record straight. But can she convince her friend to see reason before the 'baby' gets out of the cradle and phones home?

Multi-scenic set, can be suggested with minimal set pieces. Runs 1 hour 45 minutes with intermission (approx.)
